Ten women. A deadly competition. Only one will claim the Sun King’s heart.

For twelve relentless years, Lor has suffered under the cruel rule of the Aurora King. Her only wish? To escape—and make him pay for every ounce of pain he’s inflicted.

When she’s unexpectedly freed, she finds herself in the hands of the rival Sun King. But freedom comes at a cost. Now, she must compete against nine other Tributes for the title of queen. Winning his heart means securing her future… and finally getting her revenge.

But Lor doesn’t belong in the Sun Queen Trials. She has no idea why she was released, nor does she have a place among the Sun King’s court. The other Tributes see her as an outsider—and they’ll do anything to eliminate her from the competition for good.

Now, winning isn’t just about survival—it’s the only way to avoid a fate worse than death.

Because if she fails, she won’t just lose her chance at freedom. She’ll be sent back to the ruthless—and now vengeful—Aurora King.
